Comment	Direct partitions declaration is a choice of the ontologist that choses the classes to be used as direct parts, according to its own world view. A 'State' can always be direct partitioned in 'Elementary'-s and 'Void' or 'Physical'. e.g. the water in my glass can be seen as a single object without declaring direct parts, or as made of H2O molecules direct parts. [en] The definition of 'State' implies that its spatial direct parts (i.e. 'physicals') are not gained or lost during its temporal extension (they exist from the left to the right side of the time interval), so that the cardinality of spatial direct parts in a 'State' is constant. This does not mean that there cannot be a change in the internal structure of the 'State' direct parts. It means only that this change must not affect the existence of the direct part itself. There is no change in granularity or cardinality of direct parts of a 'State'. The use of spatial direct parthood in 'State' definition means that a 'State' cannot overlap in space another 'State'. [en] The usefulness of 'State' is that it makes it possible to describe the evolution in time of an 'Existent' in terms of series of 'State'-s that can take into account the disappearance or appearance of parts within a 'Physical'. A 'State' is a recognizable granularity level of matter, in the sense that its direct parts do not appear or disappear within its lifetime as it can be for a generic 'Existent'. [en] There is no change in granularity or cardinality of parts within a state. The use of spatial direct parthood in state definition means that a state cannot overlap in space another state that is direct part of the same whole. [en]
